Editing without moving automation moves

[Ty Ford]

Hi,

Sometimes when I do audio cut, paste, trim, slide editing, the volume automation for a particular sesction stays in place. More often than not it doesn't.

How can I keep my volume automation moves with the partiicular secction they were set for. Re drawing is time consuming.

Thanks,

Ty

deselect Automation Follows Edit

Operations drop-down I think

By deselecting auto follows edit, no automation data follows my edit. That's the exact opposite of what I want.

Even when the auto data is supposed to follow the edit, it doesn't on my machine.

I know that if you drop a region from the Regions List onto a track, the automation at that point doesn't change. Or if you have tempo changes, automation on a tick-based track might change its relationship to an audio region.

I did a series of experiments to see if I could figure it out, because it seems like I remember having trouble with that several months ago with 6.x. But now, as long as Automation Follows Edit is checked, I can't get it to not follow it, no matter what mode I'm in (Shuffle, Slip, etc), and regardless of the settings of Link Timeline & Edit, Link Track & Edit, and Timeline Insertion Follows Playback. I tried every combination of those in each of the four modes, using copy-paste, cut-paste, trimming, and sliding. Automation followed the edit in every case, with the exception that when trimming in a mode other than Shuffle, the automation didn't get trimmed. But that's not a problem.

I'm using 7.0. Maybe it's yet another 7.1 bug? Unless you need one of those few esoteric things that were fixed between 7.0 and 7.1, go back to 7.0 and see if that fixes it.

Hey, wait a minute. How much memory do you have assigned to automation in prefs? Maybe there's just not enough to handle it right.

With respect, maybe you could give us your Pro Tools version.

Respectfully, 7.0 PTLE.

Ty, have you tried any of the "Special Cut/Paste/Copy" commands?

no

Next! ...I'm out.

It seems weird that sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.

System reinstall?

Maybe someone with some brighter ideas will chime in.

Good luck.
